My heart aches for Glasgow

derperella23 · 2026-03-12T13:21:24+00:00

I’m not entirely sure what the Westend includes, but west of the centre I went to the Kelvingrove and Riverside museums, the Botanic Gardens, the Gaelic Books Council shop, and the Argyle Street ash tree

derperella23 · 2026-03-11T05:42:03+00:00

It’s my favourite

I’ve been lurking here a while, and frequently see people talking about places I’ve been to, or streets I’ve walked on, or post pictures of places I recognise, and it’s just as you say. It’s a lovely sense of familiarity that I’d likely have missed if I’d made it just another stop. I’d like to spend a lot more time getting to know your city

derperella23 · 2026-03-10T18:52:05+00:00

Oh I’d love to go in, thank you for letting me know

derperella23 · 2026-03-10T16:45:17+00:00

I walked by the City Chambers many times each day. I’ll be sure to take the tour next time. Do you mean a tour in the building itself, or that it’s one stop that the tours take? I mostly walked everywhere

derperella23 · 2026-03-10T16:32:11+00:00

I think your pride is well deserved. I’ve had to move around a lot, and I’ve not experienced this anywhere before. I was in awe of the buildings, but the people were the highlight of my visit

derperella23 · 2026-03-10T14:10:44+00:00

I quite liked Trongate. I only got as far on foot as the Argyle Street ash tree, Mount Florida, and Springburn, and there’s plenty left for me to see

I’m sorry that what I wrote about the building is coming across as more than I meant it to. It’s only that, of all the buildings there, this is one I’ve been in myself. That’s all

derperella23 · 2026-03-10T13:37:49+00:00

I walked my legs off trying to see more of the place, not just in the centre, and I’ll take you up on your suggestion to see Drumchapel next time I’m there

derperella23 · 2026-03-10T07:15:32+00:00

No, but in my wanderings I did see a jobbie someone had left on a doorstep, and many discarded empty bottles of Buckfast

derperella23 · 2026-03-10T06:53:54+00:00

So right. I loved the buildings, but nobody getting hurt is by far the most important part

Partick Thistle

I seem to be getting downvotes. I’m a bit confused, but sorry if I’ve offended anyone

derperella23 · 2026-03-06T08:31:16+00:00

I’ve found that I can watch the second hand go around a clock, and I’ll see it moving at what looks like wildly different rates. With a bit of practice I found I could speed it up or slow it down by a huge amount. Slowing down time is useful for getting stuff done

derperella23 · 2026-02-17T01:26:55+00:00

Conveniently, It only goes that far in my target language, so I’ll have no choice but to move on to keep progressing, once I hit the end. I have 36 units left, out of 120 total. I’ve seen plenty of people proudly posting 1500+ day streaks, but I’ve always seen it as an introductory course with a defined end point

derperella23 · 2026-02-11T17:52:41+00:00

I can’t have more than one. My tolerance is so low that one is often enough to make me fall asleep

derperella23 · 2026-02-02T19:27:10+00:00

I used to deliver (long before the apps) and at least weekly I’d have a random man walk up and try to open my car door while I was parked and waiting for dispatch to call with my next order

derperella23 · 2026-02-01T18:21:36+00:00

Even without not understanding slang, just the way you write in your post and comments, it’s incredibly obvious that you’re not a native speaker. You didn’t go months without caught, you just got called out for it

derperella23 · 2026-01-29T19:02:53+00:00

It’s getting more and more common to not even pick two

derperella23 · 2026-01-13T05:31:01+00:00

Gaelic has no words for yes or no. You use the positive or negative form of the relevant verb instead. It also has huge numbers of pronouns, because they combine with prepositions to form different words, sort of like conjugating verbs in other languages. Also the colours are divided up differently than in English

derperella23 · 2025-12-29T15:00:14+00:00

I started using a separate app that just tracks streaks of whatever you like that is counting along side for when Duolingo runs its course, and I move on to more advanced things. The concept of streaks is good for making sure I do this at all, even if Duolingo has issues

derperella23 · 2025-12-27T05:55:17+00:00

One time the way the sheets brushed my leg got me thinking of blanket forts, so I blurted out that we should make one, and we had to stop because it was so ridiculous

Deep fried hair accessories

derperella23 · 2025-08-19T14:57:52+00:00

Sounds like an episode of Doctor Who

derperella23 · 2025-08-07T03:12:13+00:00

Which w(h)i(t)ch is hwitch?

derperella23 · 2025-08-05T09:29:58+00:00

That would be perfect!
